It does allow for actual downloads, it's called yt-dlp.

Instead of reripping, I can just recopy from a backup drive, which is easier. And I can loan it to people too if I load it onto a USB drive or, y'know, just send the file online.
My university told us outright "Y'all know how to use Sci-Hub?"
Pixel 8, even now that 9 is out, is still around $400 compared to 7's already huge $300.
If I were buying a disk just to rip, I would rather buy a digital copy just to correspond to the downloaded file. I do that with Steam games. I would throw the disk out immediately after anyway.
My collection just isn't in very good quality. For example, all the music is mp3, and the movies are 1080p max (my laptop's creen is only 1080p anyway). I would not fill even one 16 tb disk in a lifetime.
First - you wouldn't want to carry a purse everywhere, especially if you did go through the effort of expanding your pockets (which, since a lot of women's clothing doesn't have big pockets, is 100% worth doing). Second - it isn't about carrying, it is about using. I have average hands, yet struggle a bit to reach my Pixel's upper corner already when using one-handed. It's just sad they forgot half the humanity has smol hands!
Seems to not be supported by Lineage... I wonder if a more privacy-preserving OS can be installed at all? I don't trust stock ones.
Edit: another comment here links to a Reddit post about installing a modified Lineage there - haven't checked it yet, but seems like it IS possible!
To put that into another perspective: it is around twice my country's monthly median salary. This is still very wild.
That is insane as well. $300 for my Pixel was already painful enough. 870€ is a whole decent computer :/
Edit: could have got it for less, but it would've been secondhand.
